Ridin' on 9

Some new drawings of bicycles. I am continuing to exploring how much information I can leave out of a drawing, and avoiding using line to describe form. I have tried to balance areas of detail with empty space and solid shapes to emphasise a shape which feels as though it is on a journey. I enjoy isolating objects from their surroundings but would really like to start building up narratives in a single image with these drawings, which would obviously affect the scale and speed at which the originals are drawn.

I am a UK based illustrator. I explore subject matter through a body of playful hand-drawn image making and felt tip pen colour illustration for all kinds of hand-made projects, screenprints and products. I am always keen to find good people & new projects.

This blog covers some of the projects I'm invited to work on, work-in-progress, all the good stuff I am lucky enough to find and a few questions about the things I haven't yet...
